## README

# libbrotli

Wrapper scripts and code around the brotli code base.

Builds libraries out of the [brotli](https://github.com/google/brotli) decode
and encode sources. Uses autotools.

'brotlidec' is the library for decoding, decompression

'brotlienc' is the library for encoding, compression

# DEPRECATED

This library and effort made sense in the early days when no brotli library
was provided by the brotli project. Once the brotli project started providing
libraries by itself, this project turned deprecated.

Switch to the "real" brotli project's library instead!

This repository is kept around only for historic reasons.

# Build

First make sure you have `libtool`, `autoconf` and `automake` installed.

Clone the libbrotli repository, e.g.

	$ git clone https://github.com/bagder/libbrotli

Then run:

	$ ./autogen.sh
	$ ./configure
	$ make

# Install

	$ make install

Installs the libraries and the necessary include files.

# Header files

The include files are placed in a brotli subdir under the install prefix so
include them like

	#include <brotli/decode.h>
	#include <brotli/encode.h>

in your source code.

# License

Consider these build files MIT licensed. brotli itself is also under an
[MIT license](https://github.com/google/brotli/blob/master/LICENSE).
